Default Today’s activist, more likely, doesn’t have facial hair, but she does have kids.

NORML WOMAN MAKE WAVES


We’ve published several blog post over the past weeks emphasizing the role of woman in marijuana law reform.


Why? Well, for starters, women are now voicing their support for sensible marijuana law reform in record numbers.
According to this week’s Gallup poll, support for marijuana legalization has jumped 12 percent among women since 2005. By comparison, support among men rose just four percent over this same time.
In short, if we are to succeed to pushing public support for marijuana regulation to majority levels in this country then we — unquestionably — need the greater support of women.
Fortunately, NORML has its own core group of female activists who are unabashedly speaking out publicly in favor of cannabis law reform. Their efforts are changing public opinion and garnering mainstream media attention.


Here are just a few recent examples.




Kathleen Parker: Legalizing Pot May Be Women’s Work
KATHLEEN PARKER: A woman's crusade to legalize marijuana - The Morning Sun Opinion: Serving Clare, Gratiot and Isabella counties[Note: Kathleen Parker is a syndicated columnist. Her most recent commentary, spotlighting NORML-ally Jessica CorryJCorry.jpg, ran in newspapers across the country under various headlines.]
Today’s activist, more likely, doesn’t have facial hair, but she does have kids.
Lately to the smallish conservative crowd, notably once led by anti-prohibitionist William F. Buckley, is Jessica Corry of Colorado, a married, pro-life Republican mom, soon to be “freedom fighter of the month” in High Times magazine.
Recent partakers undoubtedly will have to rub their eyes for a double take when they spot Corry, who spoke last month at a NORML conference (National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws) in San Francisco, wearing an American flag lapel pin, a triple strand of pearls and a gold marijuana leaf pin.
Another day, another stereotype in the dust bin.
Corry is hardly alone and, in fact, may be part of a “toking point.” (Is there a drug yet for “Tipping Point Fatigue”?) In its October issue, Marie Claire magazine featured “Stiletto Stoners” about accomplished career women who prefer to relax with pot. A September Fortune cover story, “Is Pot Already Legal?” examined the issue. In April, former (2006) Miss New Jersey, Georgine DiMaria, [Editor's Note: Georgine is an active member of NJ NORML.] outed herself as a stealth marijuana user to treat her asthma.


And next we have

Salon.com: Meet the marijuana moms
Meet the marijuana moms - Broadsheet - Salon.com

The real crux of Parker’s article, another idea she picks up from Corry, is the prediction that it will be women who lead the charge for legalization. It was the Women’s Organization for National Prohibition Reform, both point out, who in 1929 spearheaded the movement to get rid of the ban on alcohol. (Thanks, ladies!)
Parker also cites a Marie Claire
article on “Stiletto Stoners,” high-achieving women who smoke weed, I would add the example of Marie Myung-Ok Lee, a mother who wrote in Double X about feeding her autistic nine-year-old son pot (in cookie form).



And finally there’s this excellent commentary in the L.A. Daily News penned by NORML Legal committee member
Allison Margolin
allison-aROCKITlaweekly2-custom.jpg, LA's Dopest Attorney Allison B. Margolin who rightfully criticizes Los Angeles District Attorney for threatening to prosecute “100 percent” of the city’s medical marijuana dispensaries.

Do check out Allison Margolins link that I put up above, She is only 28, small but carries a big stick,,, lol

Yaaa For us woman. We are strong in the fight to be legal, or at any time...

Woman have fought, and they have had to fight for a lot throughout the generations,, It only makes seance that they would be a huge contribution to legalizing Marijuana.
